A Broken Life

We are naturally inclined to a self-exalting mindset that places us as the sovereign over our lives. But we are by nature never able to be sufficient for that purpose.Our lives will be broken, our plans will be shattered, and those remnant pieces will be spread far out of our reach. Yet it is in those events that our false identity is shaken. We have the chance to see that everything which fell out of our hands has landed in God's loving hands.We have no right to God's love and sovereign care as fallen humanity. The only thing we deserve is His wrath and destruction.Therefore how amazing it is that the shattered remnants of our attempts to exist in a self-sovereign manner should land in God's loving hands which are full of grace.Our broken lives fall apart to reveal that it is God's grace that holds us and works in us.
